Power is power. And what if you could measure it reliably and accurately for less money? If you're interested, then the CycleOps PowerTap Pro+ hub is where you'll stretch your dollars furthest. Like the SLC+ and SL+ models, you'll get the ANT+ wireless protocol to make installation easy and clean. You get a 15mm oversized axle to ensure rear wheel stiffness and positive power transfer to the ground. You save hundreds of dollars, and the only downside is the fact that this hub weighs 2oz more.

By building a PowerTap Pro+ hub on a Mavic rim, you'll get a lightweight, durable package that's unbeatable for everyday training and racing on the weekends. You'll get reams of useful performance data, and you'll get it in a package less costly than ever before. We build our PowerTap Pro+/Mavic Open Pro wheels with a 32 hole hub and DT Swiss Champion 14 gauge silver spokes. Champions are made from high-tensile stainless steel, and they offer supreme corrosion-resistance and fatigue-proofness. The Mavic Open Pro rim has been a longtime favorite due to its semi-aero shape and light weight. It has stainless spoke eyelets for durability, and the perfectly machined braking surface gives supreme performance. We offer your choice of Campagnolo or Shimano/SRAM compatibility for the freehub.

The Pro+ hub employs the ANT+ 2.4ghz wireless transmission technology. So not only will it free you from the distraction of wires all over your bike, but you'll have the freedom to use any ANT+ compatible CPU/receiver. We offer two CPU options that will sync perfectly with your wheel to accurately track your power data:

  • The Garmin Edge 800 GPS is for those addicted to the latest technology. It comes with the convenience and ease of a waterproof, rugged 2.6" touchscreen. The Edge 800 is fully GPS enabled. The best part is that data goes two ways with the 800 -- you can upload maps and routes from your PC or Mac into the Edge 800, and you can download the routes that you've just ridden. And the Edge 800 is ANT+ compatible. This means that the 800 can read information from powermeters, heart rate monitors, and speed/cadence sensors so that you can fine tune, monitor, and analyze each and every ride. With the 800, you can enable Virtual Partner, a rider you create, who exists only in the Garmin device and rides at your goal parameters. Besides ANT+ and GPS capability, it has a barometric altimeter, thermometer, and automatic time zone adjustment. The built-in base maps will get you started, and an included data card is preloaded with City Navigator so you'll have detailed maps for all of the U.S and Puerto Rico. You can add micro SD cards for extra storage or for finer map detail with streets and/or topos. Together with the PowerTap hub in the wheel, you'll have what you need to measure power. However, we built this set with a goal to keep the cost as low as possible. That said, it does not include a heart rate strap or a speed/cadence sensor. If you want to gather this info along with your power data, we do offer each of those parts separately. The 3.5 oz. Edge 800 has a 1/4 turn mount that installs without tools on the handlebars or stem. It has a rechargeable Li-ion battery that gives the unit 15 hours of life before you'll have to plug it in and charge it with the included cable. The USB download cable is also included along with a quick start manual.
  • The Garmin Edge 500 is a GPS-enabled bike computer that allows you to program up to eight metrics of data on a display with two separate screens. With two screens and eight metrics per screen, you'll have up to 16 lines of data at your fingertips. It has the same metrics as the Garmin Edge 705, just without the mapping and virtual partner features of that unit, which makes the 500 both smaller and lighter. The GPS comes in handy when you want to see where you've ridden afterwards. Together with the PowerTap hub in the wheel, you'll have what you need to measure power. However, we built this set with a goal to keep the cost as low as possible. That said, it does not include a heart rate strap or a speed/cadence sensor. If you want to gather this info along with your power data, we do offer each of those parts separately. You can use Garmin Connect on the web as well and you can upload ride data into TrainingPeaks, WKO+, and other power software.

Please Note: When purchasing this set as a wheel only, that is exactly what you'll receive -- a handbuilt, precision rear wheel, ready to deliver power data to your computer of choice. There will be no instructions, small parts, or tools.
